Abstract

This study aims to examine the effect of varying percentages of coconut shell charcoal mixed with coal on the physical properties and combustion rate of biocoal briquettes. The briquettes were made with four variations of coconut shell charcoal percentages: 16%, 31.9%, 47.7%, and 63.7%. The results revealed that briquette density tended to decrease with an increasing percentage of coconut shell charcoal, except for the 63.7% mixture, which showed an anomaly with higher density. Mechanical strength, including tensile and compressive strength, decreased as biomass increased due to the weaker mechanical properties of coconut shell charcoal compared to coal. The combustion rate decreased with higher biomass percentages, with longer combustion times for higher biomass content due to the higher calorific value of coconut shell charcoal. Biocoal briquettes demonstrated better combustion efficiency than regular briquettes but were still inferior to super briquettes and pure coal briquettes. This study highlights the potential of biomass-coal mixtures as an alternative, environmentally friendly, and efficient energy source. Keywords: Biocoal Briquettes, Coal, Coconut Shell Charcoal, Combustion Rate. Density.

Abstract

In addition to other horticultural goods, Indonesia is a major producer of the pumpkin fruit that we see all the time. This fruit is often used to make a variety of foods, and it offers several health advantages. The transformation into dried food is a processing method with enormous commercial potential on a global scale. One of the specific post-harvest treatments required to increase the storage life of horticultural fruits like pumpkin is to convert it into chips. Vacuum frying is the preferred technique of processing these chips because it increases crispiness and prolongs the shelf life of the finished product. A new invention for the community at the research site is the use of a vacuum machine to process pumpkin chips. This is due to the practicality of the process and the ease of obtaining the raw ingredients. The purpose of this research is to find out how changing the temperature and pressure affects the pumpkin chip quality. The experiment was carried out with three different pressure levels (-66 cmHg, -68 cmHg, and -70 cmHg) with three different temperature changes (75 °C, 80 °C, and 85 °C). The approach used was a two-factor Randomized Block Design (RBD). Organoleptic evaluation, frying time, water content, and yield are some of the parameters measured. Pumpkin chip water content, frying time, and organoleptic test results are all affected by pressure and temperature, according to the findings. Fry for 41 minutes with a water content of 7% for the finest pumpkin chips. Keywords:  Pressure, Pumpkin fruit, Temperature, Vacuum Frying.

Abstract

The porang plant is an abundant commodity that has a high chance of becoming an export commodity in the form of fresh tubers, dried chips, and flour. This creates an impetus for processing businesses so a porang tuber flouring machine with good flouring performance is needed. The disc mill type pressing machine is one of the pressing machines that can process porang up to 60- 80 mesh size. This study aimed to analyze and test the performance of the disc mill machine on the results of milling porang. This research was conducted at PT. Daud Teknik Maju Pratama from January to May 2024 using 1 kilogram of porang measuring 1 cm for each treatment. Tests were carried out using three rotational speeds on the disc mill machine (2160 rpm, 2750 rpm, and 3340 rpm). Each treatment was repeated three times. Tests were conducted to obtain data on milling capacity, yield, shrinkage loss, engine power, and milling quality. The performance results showed that the milling capacity of the disc mill machine ranged from 5.96- 9.89 kg/hour. The milling yield value in the 3340 rpm rotational speed treatment was obtained the highest result (91.37%) and the lowest shrinkage (8.63%). The best milling quality results were also obtained in the 3340 rpm rotary speed treatment with the highest value of fine particles 28.54% passing the 80 mesh sieve and the highest percentage reduction in water content of 4.17%. The electric motor power required for disc mill machines with rotating speeds of 2160 rpm, 2750 rpm, and 3340 rpm were 1.0961 kW, 1.3486 kW, and 1.5456 kW, respectively. Keywords:  Disc Mill, Flouring, Performance Test, Porang, Porang Flour.

Abstract

Honey harvesting is one of the main activities in beekeeping. The honey harvesting process plays a crucial role in ensuring the quality and quantity of the final product. This study aims to analyze the characteristics of suction-type honey harvesting with variations in vacuum pressure to determine the impact of pressure factors on the effectiveness of hive repair, the quality of the honey produced, and the speed of harvesting. The study was conducted from July to September 2024 at PT Daud Teknik Maju Pratama, Agribusiness and Technology Park IPB, and The Animal House, using two different pressures: -23.37 cmHg and -21.34 cmHg. Vacuum pressure honey harvesting proved to be effective as it could be performed quickly without damaging the honeycomb. On the other hand, the pressing method was less effective because it could damage the hive, resulting in a longer time required for bees to repair it. Harvesting 300 ml of honey using pressures of -9.2 cmHg and -8.4 cmHg took approximately 5.4 minutes and 6.72 minutes, respectively. The honey produced showed varying viscosity values, such as honey from Trigona laeviceps in hive 1 with a viscosity of 122.395 mPa.s, hive 5 with a viscosity of 99.645 mPa.s, hive 10 with a viscosity of 121.117 mPa.s, and honey from Trigona itama with a viscosity of 79.346 mPa.s. Keywords: Effectiveness, Honey, Pressure Variation, Vacuum Pump, Viscosity.

Abstract

Biodegradable pots made from biomass waste offer an environmentally friendly alternative to replace plastic polybags in plant cultivation. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of different raw materials used in making biodegradable pots on the vegetative growth of chili pepper plants. Two treatments were applied: pots made from Kepok banana stem fibers (B1) and pots made from rice straw (B2), each with four replications. The observed parameters included root length, plant height, stem diameter, and number of leaves over 27 days after planting. The results showed that pots made from rice straw produced better growth in all parameters compared to those made from banana stem fibers. The longest root length was found in treatment B2U1 (19 cm), the tallest plants in B2U2 (23.6 cm), and the largest stem diameter also in B2U2 (0.37 cm). These differences are attributed to the physical characteristics of the raw materials: rice straw pots have lower density and a porous structure that facilitates root penetration and growth, while banana stem pots have higher density and fiber mass, resulting in a denser structure that restricts root development. Therefore, it can be concluded that biodegradable pots made from rice straw are more effective in supporting the vegetative growth of chili pepper plants than those made from banana stem fibers. Keywords: Banana Stem, Biodegradable Pot, Densities, Kepok Banana Stem, Rice Straw, Vegetative Phase.

Abstract

The high volume of fruit waste in Lampung and Indonesia in general requires environmentally friendly waste management solutions. This study aims to utilize such waste for liquid organic fertilizer by evaluating the effects of mixing fruit waste-based liquid organic fertilizer (LOF) with AB Mix nutrients on the growth of red spinach (Alternanthera amoena Voss) in a Static Aerated Technique (SAT) hydroponic system. The research employed a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with a single factor, consisting of five treatment combinations of LOF and AB Mix concentrations (0–100%) and three replications. Observed parameters included plant height, number of leaves, plant weight, root length and weight, stem diameter, and water use efficiency. The results showed that the use of pure AB Mix (100%) produced the best growth outcomes compared to the mixed or pure LOF treatments. The lower growth and productivity in the LOF treatments were attributed to the low levels of macronutrients (N, P, K) in the produced LOF, as well as the presence of sediment that hindered nutrient absorption and the upward flow of nutrient solution from the reservoir to the plant root zone. Nevertheless, the combination of LOF and AB Mix still shows potential as an alternative nutrient source for hydroponic cultivation if optimally formulated.  Keywords:  AB Mix, Fruit Waste, Liquid Organic Fertilizer, Red Spinach, SAT Hydroponics,

Abstract

Drip irrigation is one of the most widely used irrigation methods in agriculture because it delivers water directly to the plant's root zone or soil surface. This study aimed to analyze the performance of drip irrigation and compare it with conventional watering using a watering can. Twelve treatments were applied, combining four watering methods (drip irrigation with water, drip irrigation with water and nutrients, watering using a can with water, and watering using a can with water and nutrients) and three types of growing media (soil; a mixture of soil and rice husks; and a mixture of soil, husks, and manure). The results showed that the best coffee seedling growth was achieved through the drip irrigation treatment with water and nutrients on the soil, husk, and manure mixture (A2T3). This treatment resulted in a final plant height of 13.1 cm, stem diameter of 2.94 mm, 12 leaves, and a sturdiness index of 5.50. The drip irrigation system operated at a water discharge rate of 0.534 liters per minute with a water use efficiency of 75.15%. These results indicated that combining a complete growing medium with efficient irrigation and nutrient supply significantly enhanced seedling performance. In terms of cost, seedling production under drip irrigation ranged from IDR 6,450.06 to IDR 7,119.14 per seedling, while production using a watering can ranged from IDR 3,873.13 to IDR 4,645.20 per seedling. Although drip irrigation incurred higher costs, it produced higher-quality seedlings. Therefore, the use of drip irrigation with nutrients and organic-rich media is recommended as an effective and economically viable method for coffee seedling production. Keywords: Coffee Nursery, Cost Analysis, Drip Irrigation, Growing Media, Nutrients.
